I think I have a bad alternator, but I'd like to ask some opinions real quick. I was out and about today in my truck and everything was fine. I ran in Lowe's for a few items and when I came out and started my truck, it started fine then instantly died. I had to keep it above 2k rpm to keep it from dying, and drove with 3 feet to milk it home.
I'm pretty sure it would be the battery or alternator, and I'm leaning towards alternator. About a month ago I was doing some work on my girlfriend's grandfather's '66 mustang and it had the same problem. Ran in the store, came out and it wouldn't run right. $50, new alternator, good to go.
I'm gonna pull my alternator out tomorrow and have it tested, but I'd just like to make sure I'm not missing something obvious here.
I was actually on a mission to get some stuff to try to fix my motorcycle. It wouldn't start this morning, so I had to drive my truck. When it rains, it pours I suppose. Thanks in advance guys.
